I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
I'm trying to figure out how to make a picture small enough to use as my Avatar. I can downsize it to 100 x100 pixels but I'm having trouble reducing the file size down to 9.28 KiB. I have tried IrfanView, Paint, and Kodak AiO so far but I'm not having any luck with them. I don't know if I'm missing something with these, or if I need to try to find another photo editor. thanks

Re: Avatar help
Thanks for your response. I tried the link you suggested and I'm having the same problem, I can reduce the picture size but the file size is still too big.
I'm sure it's something simple, I'm just missing it. Thanks

Re: Avatar help
what file format are you saving it as?
Try limitting the color pallette.

for reference, i'd look at RIOT (Radical Image Optimization Tool) it is great for resizing and compressing images
